Ceccato Aria Compressa was founded in the village of Alte (VI) in 1936. It’s first name was “F.l.P.A.” (Fabbrica italiana pistole e aerografi – Italian firm for air guns and airbrushes), then changed into “M.A.P.A.” (Macchine e attrezzature per autofficina – Machines and equipment for car shops). The main products were motorbikes, air compressors, car lifts and other equipment for car shops.
Ceccato inaugurated an evening school of technical drawing. Technicians and supervisors offer their knowledge for free, becoming the teachers of future technical designers, woodworkers, lathe turners and mechanical maintenance technicians. The firm became a pioneer in sharing knowledge.
In 1956 development of piston compressors started and they are innovated with wheels making them portable.
In 1979 The production lines expanded to silent compressors and air dryers.
In 2000 Ceccato designs highly reliable, flexible, silent, and easy-to-use products, which allows the clients to cut operational costs.
Continuous investments in innovation lead to more technological premium products, such as permanent motors screw compressors, remote control and monitoring, and compressors’ room optimisation systems.
